Causes of bullous pemphigoid Bullous pemphigoid is caused by a problem with the immune system (the body's defence against infection). Instead of attacking germs, it attacks and damages the skin. It's not known why this happens. Sometimes it's been linked to skin damage (such as sunburn) or taking certain medicines.
Bullous pemphigoid (BUL-us PEM-fih-goid) is a rare skin condition that causes large, fluid-filled blisters. They develop on areas of skin that often flex — such as the lower abdomen, upper thighs or armpits.
Pemphigus is characterized by shallow ulcers or fragile blisters that break open quickly. Pemphigoid presents with stronger or “tense” blisters that don't open easily. Those with pemphigoid are also more likely to have hot, red and itchy hive spots.
Lesions between the two diseases look different. Pemphigus vulgaris lesions have flaccid bullae, erosions, and flexural vegetations or growths, and bullous pemphigoid has urticated plaques, tense bullae, and some milia.
Oral terbinafine has been associated with the development of bullous pemphigoid. Vancomycin is the most common cause of drug-induced LAD. Other drugs known to cause LAD include diclofenac, somatostatin, lithium, phenytoin, captopril, amiodarone, cefamandole, amoxicillin, and ampicillin-sulbactam.
General Discussion. Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a group of rare chronic autoimmune disorders characterized by blistering lesions that primarily affect the various mucous membranes of the body. The mucous membranes of the mouth and eyes are most often affected.
Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a rare and serious (potentially life-threatening) condition that causes painful blisters to develop on the skin and lining of the mouth, nose, throat and genitals.
L12. 1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM L12. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), or Duhring's disease, is a chronic blistering skin condition, characterised by blisters filled with a watery fluid. Despite its name, DH is neither related to nor caused by herpes virus: the name means that it is a skin inflammation having an appearance similar to herpes.
